Psychology: From Inquiry to Understanding continues to emphasize the importance of scientific-thinking skills and teaches students how to test their assumptions and motivates them to use scientific thinking skills to better understand the field of psychology in their everyday lives.

Keith Campbell address students’ most pressing questions aboutfriendship, relationships, health, happiness, and more.

Perspectives in Psychopathology, 7th Edition
Dozois
The title of this book was modified in this edition from Abnormal Psychology: Perspectives to Perspectives in Psychopathology. We retained “perspectives” in the title because it reflects the essence of the approach of this text. First, since it is a contributed volume, a number of individual perspectives are discussed. Second, we have taken care to present a balance of the psychological perspectives by discussing various relevant paradigms. Although different perspectives are highlighted, we place greater emphasis on the conceptual approaches and therapeutic interventions that have garnered the most empirical support in the research literature. Finally, this text is written by Canadian experts. While it does pay tribute to the best of international research, it does not ignore the world-class scholarship happening in our own country, and this gives the book its uniquely Canadian perspective.

The Psychology of Health and Health Care: A Canadian Perspective
Matheson, Cox, Poole
The sixth edition of The Psychology of Health and Health Care: A Canadian Perspective continues to place the work of health psychology in larger disciplinary and societal contexts. This book presents topics that are commonly found in most health psychology textbooks. Stress and coping, health communication, pain, and chronic and life-threatening illnesses are examples of such topics. However, this edition also contains chapters on some topics that are often covered in less detail by other texts. Examples include psychoneuroimmunology, health promotion, health and physical activity, and our new chapter on Indigenous Peoples’ health in Canada.
